Choose knowledge sources for agents built in Copilot Studio

Makers can choose which types of knowledge sources their agents can reference. The Knowledge sources for agents setting in Power Platform admin center controls access to sources such as SharePoint, OneDrive, public websites, and documents such as files. Learn more in Configure knowledge sources for agents. You can limit access to the following knowledge sources:

Knowledge source added by makers Knowledge source used Description
Upload a file from a local device (Documents) Documents Configures whether people can upload documents to their agents to use as knowledge sources.
Upload files > SharePoint SharePoint + OneDrive Configures whether agents can use SharePoint and OneDrive sites as knowledge sources.
Upload files > OneDrive SharePoint + OneDrive Configures whether agents can use SharePoint and OneDrive sites as knowledge sources.
Public websites Public websites Configures whether agents can use public websites as knowledge sources.

Important

Configuring Documents knowledge source to not allow uploads only prevents local file uploads. It doesn't prevent makers from adding files from SharePoint or OneDrive.

To not allow uploads from SharePoint or OneDrive, configure SharePoint + OneDrive to not allow access.

Alternatively, if you want to allow or deny specific endpoints for SharePoint or public websites that makers can use as knowledge sources for their Copilot Studio agents, use endpoint filtering.
